May 14th Hearthstone Update - Dalaran Adventure Data
A new patch has arrived to Hearthstone on Battle.net with mobile updates coming soon. It includes data for the new adventure that releases this Thursday, May 16.
Quote from BlizzardToday’s Hearthstone update adds a whole new single-player adventure alongside game improvements and bug fixes. Read on for details!
New Single-player Adventure – The Dalaran Heist – Live on May 16!A Dastardly Deed, Indeed:
Arch-Villain Rafaam has meticulously assembled a league of menacing and megalomaniacal supervillains to undertake his most audacious caper yet – stealing the magical city of Dalaran! As a low-level operative in Rafaam's League of E.V.I.L., you'll rampage through the streets and sewers of Dalaran ensuring that every part of the plan succeeds. Or, at the very least, you'll provide the distraction they need to accomplish their devious goals.
Here’s the Plan:
As with previous deckbuilding Solo Adventures, you'll choose a Hero and work your way through a gauntlet of increasingly difficult encounters, adding cards and powerful treasures to your deck with each win. If your Hero is defeated, you’ll lose the deck you've built and start over.
The Dalaran Heist allows players to unlock more ways to play than ever before. You’ll find more customization, more bosses to fight, and more ways to experience hijinks in the magical city!
- Hero Loadouts: In addition to 9 playable Heroes, you can unlock new Hero Powers and Decks to be used in your quest to defeat the defenders of Dalaran.
- Multiple Chapters: Starting this week with ‘Dalaran Bank’ and ‘The Violet Hold,’ the Solo Adventure will unfold in 5 chapters, each with its own rules, events, and unique encounters.
- Friendly Encounters: Make changes to your Solo Adventure Deck with the help of a friendly tavernkeeper.
- Anomaly Mode: Throw Dalaran into chaos by playing through a chapter with randomized special rules. Will it make it easier? Harder? The only guarantee is it'll be CRAZIER.
- Heroic Mode: For card-core players only: Can you beat the ultimate versions of all the boss encounters?

Bug Fixes
- Single-player Reconnect – Players can now resume in-progress single-player content after game disconnects, closures, and crashes.
- Please note that this is the first version of this feature and we plan to keep improving it over time.
- Kalecgos no longer grants a discount to another spell if the first spell is countered. This is now consistent with other one-time cost reduction effects, such as Inkmaster Solia or Kirin Tor Mage.
- Explosive Runes now deals correct damage to minions that transform after they come into play.
- Fixed an issue causing Nat, the Darkfisher to trigger more often than 50% of the time.
- Changed the condition on Prismatic Lens to swap costs if both a minion and spell are drawn, instead of requiring both cards to also end in the player's hand. This means if Prismatic Lens now draws a minion and a “Casts When Drawn” spell, it will still swap their costs.
- Fixed an issue where Da Undatakah would not return spells cast on it after copying Test Subject's Deathrattle.
- Fixed an issue where Twilight's Call would not resurrect Deathrattle minions that were silenced before dying.
- Fixed an issue where Twilight’s Call would resurrect cards that were granted a Deathrattle by cards like Soul of the Murloc but did not have an inherent Deathrattle effect.
- Fixed an issue where the game would freeze if Unseen Saboteur caused your opponent to play a Chameleos that had transformed into a spell.
- Fixed an issue where damage would not be correctly doubled when playing a healing effect with Crystalsmith Kangor and Auchenai Soulpriest on the board.
- Fixed an issue where playing cards like Faceless Manipulator with Flobbidinous Floop in hand resulted in Floop transforming into the minion that Faceless Manipulator copied, instead of transforming into a copy of the Faceless Manipulator.
- Fixed an issue where Eviscerate pulled from Unseen Saboteur can deal its combo damage if the Eviscerate's owner had combo activated on the previous turn.
- Fixed an issue where minions that are forced to attack (such as due to Flark's Boom-Zooka) will not have their cost modified after attacking into a Freezing Trap.
- Fixed an issue where Minion health could disappear during the mulligan phase in the Thai language client.
- [Android] Adjusted installation and patching to be more consistent across all mobile platforms.
- [Android] Fixed an issue causing some tablets to use the user interface intended for phones.
- [Mobile] Fixed an issue causing text to disappear when switching to a non-english language client.
- [Android] Fixed various installation issues encountered on Pixel devices.
- [Rumble Run] Fixed an issue where Freezing Trap would destroy the enemy's shrine without leaving the dormant shrine.
If you can get back 5 packs for the investment of 700g I would be OK with it. But, charge so much gold (and real cash as well) is beyond my understanding. In old days, I was okay to spent 700g for few cards from adventures, because they were unique. But this, adventures which we were getting for free past few expansions, and now we must pay for it ...
I sence dark times comming for Hearthstone and it's F2P or Semi-F2P Players.
Really? It's beyond your understanding that a company would charge money for its product?
If you don't like solo adventures, don't buy them. Just like any other form of entertainment.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE IT IS NOT ABOUT GETTING PACKS FOR GOLD BUT ABOUT HAVING FUN IN AN ADVENTURE, RIGHT!!!???
It's nice that there's nothing associated with this adventure that can't be obtained by buying the wings with gold. I expected that they would lock part of the reward (e.g. a cardback, Zayle, or the golden pack) behind a paywall. Thank you, Blizzard :)
if making your collection better is the goal, you'd be better off buying packs since you'd be spending 700g on one wing which will net 3 packs upon finishing.
Holy crap! The spoils for clearing the single player mode! There haven't been many occasions where a golden classic pack has been offered.
is it worth to farm gold for an adventure or is it better to buy packs 🤔
if you only care about dust buy packs
you get 107 dust average per pack
u buy packs also if u are interested in acquiring new cards..i don't have all cards from new set so buying packs gets me new cards sometimes :)
It is better to do the one that is more fun, whatever that means to you.
What about decks, heropowers, passive, active treasures and anomalies in the Dalaran Heist? Can you datamine it?
I'm still mad the heroes can't be used as alt portraits for Play Mode.
Especially the Warlock one, it’s amazing.
Zayle collectible... Does this mean it's disenchantable?
Nope.
Well apparently, there is a non-golden version so he might become craftable at some point, probably after the next rotation.
Where nerf list? PepeHands
Woah boy, you jumped the horse. Nerfs are coming when they release all the wings, have to stretch content to the max.
The change to Prismatic Lens looks fun with Portal Keeper/Portal Overfiend.
Huh
